Karachi, Dt
The Pakistan Cricket Board has banned its controversial cricketer Umar Akmal for three years. Umar Akmal was approached for fixing earlier this year in the Pakistan Super League. However, Akmal did not inform the cricket board about this. The Pakistan Board took strict action after the matter came to its notice.
Akmal, 3, has been banned for three years and is now believed to have ended his international career. Justice Rita, head of the Pakistan Board's disciplinary committee, was present at the hearing on Monday. Fazal conveyed the verdict to Miran Chauhan. Umar Akmal has been banned for three years. However, no further details have been released.
Umar Akmal attended the hearing at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore. Umar Akmal did not challenge the Pakistan Cricket Board's notice, which led to the whole matter going to the disciplinary committee. In this situation, it seemed, Umar was given a lenient sentence, such as a six-month or one-year ban. Akmal last played for Pakistan in a Test match in 2006. His last international match was a T20I against Sri Lanka last October.
